Abstract

The oxide films formed on Alloy 690 exposed to 600 °C supercritical water were characterized using mass measurement, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the mass gain of the alloy in supercritical water decreased with increasing exposure time. The oxide films have a double-layer structure, with an inner layer rich in Cr and outer layer rich in Ni and Fe after short time and long time exposure. The penetration of the oxide along the grain boundaries was observed, and the penetration depth increased with increasing exposure time. The grain boundaries and voids are the short-path of oxygen diffusion into the metal.
